Default crawler question?

it seems like my losi mini crawler is a little under powered where could i find a motor upgrade for it? or could i change the gearing to get more out of it?

Is the steering servo attached to the esc or receiver? I know one of the small crawlers is set up so you have to install a new servo and esc if you want to upgrade. And you might try castle creations for a better setup.

i got mine from the lhc but you can get them online. yes it works with the factory esc no problems at all. i was shocked how much differance it made with this motor. just type in insane 370 motor and it will pop up.
